Ask A Mom

Today at Moms & Tots was Ask a Mom with Tina D. Ask a Mom is a time when a "seasoned" Mom comes to speak about her experience as a Mom & to share her advice.

Here a few things she shared: (her word is parentheses)

"Often Moms are so focused on the kids and not their husband & they can become resentful. They are so tired at the end of the day. The best gift to give to your kids is to love your husband"

I think this is really important. I think that every "seasoned" Mom that has spoke has said this same thing.

"It is not our right to worry. It does not make us good parents"

She talked about being afraid of something happening to her children & worrying about them all the time & realized that she is not to anxious or worried about them but trusting God.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7

"Treat each child as an individual. Don't worry about what the neighbors will think. Allow them to be who they are rather than having them as a showcase. Don't try to impress the world or the church"

Isiah 40:11 "And gently lead those who are with young"

She talked about being consistent & firm yet felt like she lacked patience & grace. "Everything you can do with anger but they can be done better without anger. We can control our anger"

1 Corinthians 13:7-8a:

bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things,

endures all things.

Love never fails.
